This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 January 2015.
All research outputs
#18,576,509
of 27,786,078 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#29,695
of 41,329 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#167,565
of 280,879 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#300
of 668 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,786,078 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 41,329 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.1. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 280,879 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 668 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
